Rapid urbanization causes a variety of transportation problems, including traffic delay. Then transportation engineers would get involved in trying to solve traffic delay through road constructed and uncongested policy. But lately, traffic policy changed from vehicle-dominated to humandominated and green transportation. Road diet is one of green transportation. Road diets reduce the number of lanes, lane width because supplement space for green transportation including a bicycle road, side-walk, etc. A study on road diets not enough then this study performed a basic study for road diets. This study on lane width reduce for road diets through analyzes sway of moving vehicle. This study results shows lane width of a compacts-size car needs 2.34~2.70m and lane width of a full-size car needs 2.62~2.89m. According to this study lane width can reduce therefore lane width design criterion have to be relieved. This study will be used in a road width reduce including a road diets, road in process of construction and so on.

In this study, analyzed the effective width of concrete unfilled composite steel grid deck which has different shear connector details from that of composite bridge. The effective width of concrete unfilled composite steel grid deck according to effective width calculation method, load size and main bearing bar spacing-span ratio was evaluated. As a result of analysis, it is analyzed that the effective width is calculated to be nearly equal to the actual effective width by idealizing the stress shape as a trapezoidal shape. In addition, shear hole penetration reinforcing bars applied to increase the shear strength is shown to increase the effective width. From the results of the analysis of the effective width according to main bearing bar spacing-span ratio, proposes the correction factor that can calculate the effective width ratio of the unfilled steel composite steel grid deck.

The present study investigated the perceptual span(or the span of effective vision) of junior-high school students during reading Korean, using the material and the moving-window display change technique used in Choi & Koh(2009). The 8 different window sizes were used in the experiment. They were 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 characters in size and the whole line. Reading rate, number of fixation, saccadic distance, fixation duration were compared between each window-size condition and the whole line condition. Considering the pattern of eye-movement measures above, the size of the perceptual span of junior-high school students in Korean reading may be estimated to be 9 characters, that is 4 characters to the right and 1 characters to the left of the fixation.

The initial joint width design of the terminal joint between post-tensioned concrete pavement (PTCP) and jointed concrete pavement (JCP) was studied in this research. The joint width between PTCP and JCP directly affects noise and ride quality. If the initial joint width is very large, noise increases and ride quality decreases. If the initial joint width is very small, on the other hand, under high temperatures, PTCP slabs can blow up, or failures near the joint can occur due to excessive compressive stresses. The terminal joint width behavior between PTCP and JCP near Jumunjin at Donghae expressway under temperature changes was measured in August and November 2010 and the data was analyzed. From this study, the design methodology of the optimal initial terminal joint width was proposed.

The effects of the number of Hangul syllable, the nunber/location of batchim in a Hangul word, and compound/noncompound Hangul word on memory span were examined. The results were that (1) the more syllables a word had, the lower us memory span was, (2) the more batchims a two-syllable word had, the lower its memory span was (Korean batchim effect on memory span), (3) noncompound word had higher memory span than compound word. The reading speed of above mentioned words was measured and the results were that (1) the more syllables a word had, the slower its reading speed was, (2) but the reading speed of a two-syllable word was forest when it had a batchim on second syllable than when it had no batchim or had a batchim on first syllable or batchims on both syllables (Korean ending batchim effect on reading speed), (3) noncompound word was read faster thu compound word. Korean ending batchim effect on reading speed was not compatible with the explanation by articulatory loop bur compatible with the explanation by visual cache where the orthographic information was represented. The results suggest that memory span was influenced nor only by phonological information but also by orthographic information.

The wheel load distribution width for lane load is not specified in current Korea bridge design code(KD code), not like in current AASHTO and AASHTO LRFD specifications which specity it as twice of wheel load distribution width for wheel load. In this study, the wheel load distribution width in continuous reinforced concrete slab bridge is investigated. The major variables affecting the wheel load distribution of a reinforced concrete continuous slab bridge are the span length, bridge width, existence edge beam and boundary condition. From a series of comprehensive parametric study on each variable, the formula for wheel load distribution in continuous reinforced concrete slab bridge is proposed from the nonlinear regression analysis of finite element analysis results. The proposed formulas can be used efficiently in the accurate design of continuous reinforced concrete slab bridges.

The numerical analysis on the wave screening performance of the submerged breakwater with various crown widths is presented. The fluid motion is considered as linearized two dimensional potential flow and the finite element method is used to analyze the wave screening performance of the submerged breakwater. It is found that single-submerged breakwater with large crown width shows the most effective wave screening performance and single-submerged breakwater with small crown width also shows fairly good wave screening performance but its effectiveness is less than that of single-submerged breakwater with large crown width. However, double- or triple-submerged breakwater with small crown width shows more effective wave screening performance than that of single- or double-submerged breakwater with large crown width. It is expected that the submerged breakwater with small crown width is economical because it reduces the size of structure.

산불의 확산형태 중 지표화 확산을 방지하기 위해 대표적인 진화방법으로는 방화선을 구축하는 것이다. 지표화는 산림의 연료중 낙엽층, 잔가지 등 지표면의 연료층이 열분해되면서 확산되기 때문에 방화선 구축을 통해 연료층을 제거하면 지표화 확산을 저지할 수 있다. 하지만 방화선 구축 폭에 따라 산불확산 방지 효과가 크게 달라질 수 있으므로 적정한 방화선 구축 폭을 설정하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 적정 방화선 구축 폭을 살펴보기 위해 풍동시험장치를 이용하여 풍속 0, 1, 2, 3m/s조건에서 지표화 화염으로부터 이격 거리에 따른 온도측정과 함께 방화선 구축 폭에 따른 확산가능 여부를 평가하였다. 50cm 폭의 소나무 낙엽에 대한 풍속별 지표화 방화선 구축 실험결과, 풍속 3m/s에서 화염으로부터 소나무 낙엽의 착화온도인 $311^{\circ}C$에 도달하는 거리가 약 0.65m로 나타났고 풍속이 낮을수록 착화온도 도달거리가 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있다. 실제 0.6m 방화선 구축의 경우, 화염이 계속 확산되었고 0.65m 이상의 방화선 구축시에는 화염확산이 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 향후, 수치해석을 이용한 열유속 평가 결과와 함께 본 연구의 실험결과와 비교평가 함으로써 지표화 산불확산 방지를 위한 적정 방화선 구축 폭 산정을 평가하고자 한다.

We have studied experimentally the propagation characteristics of fundamental dark spatial solitons on finite-width backgrounds and conpared with the result of numerical simulations. It was verified experimentally that the width of dark solitons decreased but that of background increased as the beam intensity increased. The refractive index change obtained from soliton constant, which is for infinite-width background, was smaller than that from Z-scan method. Numerical simulations of fundamental dark solitons on a finite-width backgrounds showed that the peak intensity of background, the width of dark soliton and the soliton constant varied with the propagation length. If the change of soliton constant on finite-width backgrounds was considered, the refractive index change was in good agreement with that from Z-scan method. ethod.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the effects of levee crest width and the slope steepness on levee break due to overtopping flow. The phenomenon of bank failure can be described in 4 stages. In this study, the magnitudes of breach width, breach depth peak discharge, and scouring shape at the break site were measured, and the result shows that peak discharge will be reduced and breach duration extended by widening the crown width and lessening the levee slope steepness. The breach width was narrower and the breach depth deeper, as the levee crest width become wider or the slope steeper. And, the bed scour depth was deeper and steeper, as the levee crest crest width become narrower or the slope milder.
